Job Details

Litigation Attorney – Civil Defense

Multiple East Coast Locations | Full-Time

The Role

We are a growing civil litigation defense firm with offices across the East Coast, and we are expanding several of our regional teams. We are seeking experienced litigators (4+ years) who are comfortable handling insurance defense matters from inception through resolution.

Our practice spans a wide range of civil defense work, and attorneys in our offices are not siloed into a single narrow niche. Depending on location, the caseload may include employment defense, construction litigation, transportation/trucking, general liability, product liability, professional liability, and related complex civil matters.

We are looking for attorneys who can step into an active litigation role, manage files independently, and contribute to a collaborative team environment.

Responsibilities

Manage civil litigation defense matters from initial assignment through settlement, dispositive motion, or trial

Draft and argue motions, pleadings, and legal memoranda

Conduct depositions, attend hearings, mediations, and court conferences

Develop case strategy in coordination with partners and clients

Handle written discovery and prepare clients and witnesses

Maintain consistent, timely billing and case reporting

Attorneys will have the opportunity to work across multiple categories of civil defense depending on interest and office needs.

Qualifications

4–10+ years of civil litigation experience, preferably in insurance defense

Experience in one or more of the following is helpful: employment defense, construction defect, transportation/trucking, general liability, product liability, or professional liability

Strong motion practice and deposition experience

Ability to manage files with increasing independence

Trial preparation experience preferred

Juris Doctor required

Must be licensed in the state where you are applying; additional nearby state admissions are a plus

Why Join Us

Multi-office platform with steady growth and expanding client base

Broad litigation exposure rather than rigid departmental silos

Direct partner access and meaningful responsibility

Hybrid work structure (office presence required; some locations offer additional flexibility)

Clear annual compensation and bonus cycle

Opportunity to build long-term litigation experience within a stable defense practice

We are looking for attorneys who want hands-on litigation experience, consistent work flow, and room to grow within a structured defense platform.
